I've got a solo show of new mixed media pieces and letterpress prints entitled, "Travels In Time & Space" which opens on Thursday June 4th in Los Angeles at Ghettogloss Gallery. The pieces are all influenced from things like the films Solaris and 2001: A Space Odysey as well as from the records "Before The Dawn Heals Us" by M83 and "Ladies And Gentleman We Are Floating In Space" by Spiritualized. I have been a big fan of traveling in space in the the sort of melancholy ways these movies and records evoke and have combined that with my love of patterns to sort of express infinity.. an infinite sorrow & rebirth.. or something along those lines.. anyway, here's all the info :

These are amazing! Isabella Rossellini's short little segments about animals and their breeding habits are done so well I just had to share.. you can watch all of season 1 and the brand new season 2 on the Sundance Channel's website.
